Piper Reed is excited to move to a new state and catch up with
old friends. But the move doesn't go as smoothly as she expected:
Piper has trouble feeling accepted in her new surroundings. But
then she meets Arizona Smiley. Arizona is an avid stamp collector
and bowls in a league. Piper is intrigued by Arizona's originality
and before long, she wins Arizona's affections, and the two become
great friends. This move turns out to be the best one yet, and in
Kimberly Willis Holt's "Piper Reed, Forever Friend," Piper is eager
to spread her trademark "Get Off the Bus" catchphrase once
again.

family. In a heartbreaking and hopeful narrative, Sarah Ann Juckes'
